Philomel, 1987
One of Yolen's best

great starter book
My son loves the dinosaur board books. Although they are shorter in length than the hard cover books, they are great for little ones to handle. They story rhymes and keeps a consistant flow, which seems to interest our 14 month old. We own several and I would ...

Commander Toad is a delight. He's "bold and bright", though not quite as bright as he thinks. His crew (an amalgam of loose takes on Star Wars and Star Trek characters) puts up with his prideful ways, because he is, after all, a good leader. Together with his ...

Favorite Folktales from Around the World (Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library)
Jane Yolen
Pantheon, 1988
If you like folktales, you'll want this book
Not only is this collection marvelously diverse, but it's also incredibly easy to read. Though the tales still retain the feel of original storytelling, they do not have the awkward idiosyncracies you find in other texts with obscure (to the US) tales which have been ...
